Established in November 2004, the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee is a Technical Committee of the Emergency Preparedness Planning Council (EPPC), which was established and authorized by North Central Texas Council of Governments' Executive Board. The scope of the REPAC is to assist the Council in carrying out its duties and responsibilities and to formulate strategies and recommendations to affect an approach to accomplish coordinated and integrated emergency preparedness planning. The initial focus was on reviewing and approving regional homeland security projects. Subsequent activities will include strategic planning, project implementation, evaluation of ongoing regional projects, and other current and future issues facing our region.
